Good afternoon folks. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />I am almost satisfied that I have made my point, which is simply that this thread (other than GR88's first post) has been and is now <b><i>only</i></b> about bashing Richard C. Hoagland. Not about Deep Impact. Nor the initial observances (by <i>other</i> observatories around the globe) showing remarkable ingredients in the comet out-flow, such as "beach sand".<br /><br />And the many Deep Impact discussions in numerous other threads have played out entirely. I personally really don't care to re-visit these ideas. <br /><br />So in closing, I will give you all what you need: information! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />qso1, you said something <i>very</i> insightful. You said, <font color="yellow">"I'm not sure if planets would explode or <b>why they would explode</b>."</font><br /><br />And the answer to this addresses a great many questions just recently raised here. Because, the VanFlandern EPT (exploded planet theory) hypothesis that obsesses Hoagland so much can only be explained by the <i>Hyperdimensional Physics</i> view of celestial mechanics. Cause otherwise: ya know, planets don't explode, right?<br /><br />So with the bevy of recently uncovered data which supports the Hoagland/Bera/VanFlandern EPT notions, it shouldn't shock anyone here to think that Richard would find new analyses of comet make-up quite facinating (especially if it adds even further weight to his HD physics theories).<br /><br />-------------------------------------------<br /><br />Yevaud: <font color="yellow">"As to the issue of regularity in nature: this is found everywhere in the real world, all by chance alignments and natural phenomena."</font><br /><br />Regularity in Nature is acknowledged. Not <b>"all'</b> regularity on Earth however. Read "The Mute Stones Speak". Had those arial photos of "natural" <i>regularities</i> been ignored, we would not have discovered the Roman cities dis <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
